Today in the States, we'll be saying farewell to a living legend who's has not only graced our TV for 25 years, but who has changed our world - Oprah Winfrey. So in honor of her big farewell show, I thought it would be nice to share a few of her words of wisdom that have really hit home throughout the years. -Maddy

Salma, Canda

"I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes."

Maddy, New Jersey/NYC

"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate."

Caroline, England"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you."

Wanda, Canada"Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness."

May, Germany"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."

Mira, Italy"You CAN have it all. You just can't have it all at once."

Becky, Philadelphia"Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility."

Rikako, Japan"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down."

About This Blog

A few years ago, our founder, Lola, had an idea! She thought that it would be interesting to search out women living all around the world and ask them to collaborate on a blog where they could share our lives. She had always wanted to travel and see the world & this blog became a means to do so!

We have had the privilege of seeing Germany, Thailand, The Netherlands, Philadelphia, New Jersey/NYC, Hong Kong, Canada, and Utah through the eyes of the beautiful, smart, talented, funny women who live there. Some women have journeyed with us for a little while, others the whole distance so far, but all have left their mark here.

We post thrice weekly, on Monday, Wednesday & Friday, with our Linky-day being a Wednesday, when all our wonderful readers get to join in!

We feel that each culture, and each country, and each and every woman on the planet has positive, lovely, and wonderful things to share with those who will listen, and this blog is meant to serve as a forum for these formidably good things!

We are celebrating the everyday beauty of life and womanhood, and suspect that we will find that life is beautiful everywhere, and joy can be found in even the smallest things, such as a morning walk, a great cup of cocoa, the laugh (or mischief) of a child, a letter from someone we love, and of course, the joy of making a new, lifelong friend.

We sincerely hope that you will take this journey with us! It's not aimed at anything other than connecting, enjoying, and escaping to new and different places. Feel free to comment, ASK QUESTIONS, and start conversations! And please share a link to Communal Global on your blog (if you feel so inclined) and tell other women about it so that they can join in and share with us!
